‘Lady Hamilton’
at Digging Dog

Crocosmia

Montbretia

Coveted by florists, these brightly colored flowers bloom along the length of tall, arching spikes, which emerge from handsome clumps of swordlike foliage. If given well drained soil and divided every two to three years, this fountain-shaped plant will continue to pour spectacular color into your garden for a long, long time.

Crocosmia ‘Lady Hamilton’ full sun  partial shade

Demure, lusciously colored apricot blossoms, with small dark red streaks in their throats and bright green calyxes line the branched flowering stems of the same color. Adorning upright, green Iris-like foliage, the long lasting blooms arrive late in summer and beckon another glance alongside Aster ‘Blue Danube’.

Blooms August–September.

Size: 3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 6.
